Day 12 神句文档
The team contends that these bear more than a passing resemblance to the networks of bacteria that live in hydrothermal vents--towering, crenellated structures that form in the deep ocean above the boundaries between tectonic plates, where superheated mineral-laden water spurts up from beneath the seabed.
这个团队认为这些微生物的结构和生活在热泉中的细菌的结构非常相似,而热泉是形成于地壳搭界处上方的深海里的一种塔形的锯齿状的结构。在地壳处,超高温的充满矿物质的海水从海床底部喷射出来。
Such a find is doubly intriguing because hydrothermal vents are seen as a plausible candidate for the cradle of life.
这个发现越发有趣是因为热泉很有可能是生命的摇篮。
Although the sorts of bacteria apparently found by Dr. Papineau and his colleagues are too complicated to reveal much about the very earliest organisms, the suggestion that hydrothermal vents have played host to life for so long is a strike in the theory’s favor.
尽管Papineau 博士及其同事发现的细菌种类太复杂,以至于不能揭示太多关于早期生命的发展,但是热泉长久以来孕育了生命这一观点对于理论来说都是一个打击。
生命起源也许从很早的时候就开始了,这是文章的主旨,然后从化石里存有的微生物的角度来说明,又因为这些微生物和深海热泉里的生物相似,所以把生命的起源又推往更早的从前。生命太奇妙了!
